Happy 10th Birthday MIP and LIF!
March 2021 marks the 10-year anniversary since Vertex brought the first Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) and Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) tools into Canada. Thinking back 10 years ago and the humble beginnings of what the state of High-Resolution Site Characterization
The Vapour Intrusion Issue: Remedying a Mist Opportunity!
Over the years Vertex has published newsletters on innovative remedial methods for various soil and groundwater impacts. But we recently realized that we’ve never before focused our information sharing on the vapour phase of subsurface contamination. This newsletter article is
Little Known Fact: PHCs & cVOCs Are Not The Only Contaminants You Can Detect In-Situ With HRSC Tooling
High-Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) tooling, such as the MIP, LLMIP and Laser-Induced fluorescence (LIF) have been used countless times across Canada over the past ten years to delineate plumes of petroleum hydrocarbons (e.g. BTEX compounds, gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.) and
Vertex is Expanding – Journey to a New Shop & Office!
Vertex is growing and we’re excited about our recent move into a new shop and office! After ten years at the same location, we were busting at the seams. Despite multiple expansions within our own industrial complex, our landlord finally
The (Off-)Road to Better Understanding of Difficult Sites
Using High Resolution Characterization (HRSC) at Remote Access Sites with Vertex’s new High Res UTV When people hear “off-road,” “remote access,” or “all-terrain vehicle” typically they imagine something with caterpillar tracks, rugged, or large 4×4 capabilities. Basically, something extreme capable
Groundwater Recirculation for More Efficient Site Remediation
Groundwater recirculation can increase the effectiveness and speed of in-situ remediation activities at contaminated sites! Many sites with groundwater contamination require an in-situ remedial approach that can treat difficult or hard to reach contaminants in the subsurface. Excavating these impacts
Managing Soil – Changes are Coming!
Change is coming to the way we deal with soils! This statement applies to Ontario, Canada, where the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) recently announced regulatory changes relating to the new On-Site and Excess Soil Management Regulation.
2019 RemTech Conference: Thoughts on Environmental Remediation
Around this time last year, our newsletter focused on Insights from the 2018 Remediation Technologies (RemTech) Conference. RemTech, the biggest and arguably best Canadian Environmental Conference, is always a good indicator of what the current and upcoming issues are in
